The cottage is nice. When the weather is nice, it’s wonderful to spend time outside on the large covered patio. You can enjoy breakfast at the kitchen counter on the bar stools. The chairs and sofa in the living room were a bit dated and could use an upgrade. The extra cottage is nice, but it does smell a bit musty. The gas BBQ wasn’t working when we were there, which was a shame. All in all, it was a great stay for a weekend getaway.
Het huisje is fijn. Bij mooi weer is het uitstekend vertoeven buiten op het grote terras met overkapping. Je kunt fijn ontbijten bij het aanrecht op de barkrukken. De stoelen/ bank in de woonkamer waren wel iets gedateerd en kunnen wel een upgrade gebruiken. Het extra huisje is leuk, maar ruikt wel een beetje muf. De gasBBQ was niet werkend toen wij er waren wat jammer was. Al met al voor een weekendje weg was het een prima verblijf.
The cottage is situated in a beautiful wooded area. You can easily explore the surrounding forests and wetlands. There are several hiking trails starting right from the cottage. The cottage is next to a small café where you can pick up a daily special.
Het huisje staat in een mooie bosrijke omgeving. Je bent zo in de omliggende bossen en veengebied. Er zijn een aantal wandelingen te doen vanuit het huisje. Het huisje ligt naast een cafeetje waar je een daghap kunt halen.

Mixed experience: overdue maintenance and safety concerns
This cottage is advertised as luxury accommodations, but unfortunately, the state of maintenance left a lot to be desired during our stay with 7 people.
The main drawbacks:
Broken dishwasher: Unfortunately, it turned out to be broken upon arrival, forcing us to wash dishes by hand the entire weekend.
Unsafe gas grill: The grill produced large flash fires, and the gas hose was outdated (from 2006) and riddled with hairline cracks.
Electrical wiring in the bathroom: In the damp bathroom, exposed electrical wires were hanging out of the wall.
Overdue maintenance: The bathroom faucet was missing parts, and outside, some deck boards had rotted through.
We reported these issues properly, but unfortunately, the landlord did not take our complaints seriously, and we eventually received no further response at all. Hopefully, these structural issues will be addressed quickly for future guests, but for now, we recommend being cautious when booking.Matige ervaring: achterstallig onderhoud en veiligheidspunten
Dit huisje wordt aangeboden als een luxe accommodatie, maar helaas liet de staat van onderhoud tijdens ons verblijf met 7 personen flink te wensen over.
De belangrijkste minpunten:
Defecte vaatwasser: Deze bleek bij aankomst helaas kapot te zijn, waardoor we het hele weekend met de hand moesten afwassen.
Onveilige gasbarbecue: Het apparaat gaf grote steekvlammen en de gasslang bleek verouderd (uit 2006) en vol haarscheurtjes te zitten.
Elektra in de badkamer: In de vochtige badkamer hingen er open, blootliggende stroomdraden uit de muur.
Achterstallig onderhoud: De badkraan miste onderdelen en buiten waren er vlonderplanken doorgerot.
We hebben deze punten netjes gemeld, maar helaas nam de verhuurder onze klachten niet serieus en kregen we uiteindelijk helemaal geen reactie meer. Hopelijk worden deze structurele punten snel aangepakt voor volgende gasten, maar voor nu adviseren we om kritisch te zijn bij het boeken.The surroundings are beautiful, wonderfully peaceful, and surrounded by nature. I really enjoyed the lovely location.
De omgeving is prachtig, heerlijk rustig en volop in de natuur. Echt genoten van de mooie locatie.

Cottage was nicely cared for, lots of eye for ambience/decorations, giving us a Christmas/winter sports feeling.
Huisje was netjes verzorgd, veel oog voor sfeermakers/aankleding, waardoor we een kerst/wintersportgevoel kregen.
A wonderful place for 8 people and a child to spend some time in a bubble of their own. Enjoyed hot tub, wood stove and nice seating areas
Een heerlijk plekje om met 8 personen en een kindje even in een eigen bubbel te zijn. Genoten van hottub, houtkachel en fijne zitplekjes
